I've been on progesterone supps during this current cycle's LP b/c I had a coculture biopsy and they didn't want me to spot. I'm supposed to stop the P4 tonight so I can get AF and go in for CD2 monitoring hopefully by the end of the week.
I'm really, really scared to start another IVF cycle - so much so that I've been trying to push the P4 out as long as I could - the nurse and I settled on this date b/c she wanted it to be earlier.
I'm just dreading having to go through all of those emotions again. I need some encouragement ladies...

You can do it!
We are here for you!
Keep you eye on the prize!
Ok, enough with the cheering. I know you will find the strength. I will be a couple of weeks behind you and this will be my 4th IVF cycle in a year. I understand the fear and the exhaustion. But it will be worth it in the end when we get to join the other ladies on PAIF.
You can do it. This is your cycle! I know it's scary to get out there again, but just think about the reward of a successful cycle.
Good luck!!!
By the way, I LOVE your siggie picture!!! So beautiful.
((hugs))
I'm sure its scary but it will be worth it in the end! GL!!

(btw, my b/w came came back and the RE thinks I'm actually going to ovulate this week (although it's cd 42 or something), and wants me to wait to hopefully get AF naturally, so I won't be starting my cycle for another 3-ish weeks. All that to say, we won't be cycle buddies, but I'm with you in spirit!)
